The Ocean County 200 Club awarded two detectives valor awards Thursday night for their role arresting the Brielle restaurant owner accused of trying to kill his manager last year, officials announced.

Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Detectives John Dotto and Brad Frank were on the SWAT team that arrested Louis Cataldo, 63, of Point Pleasant, after a five-hour standoff outside his residence, authorities said in a release.

“While performing their duties on a highly trained SWAT Team, the named detectives put themselves in harm’s way to bring Louis Cataldo to justice,” the prosecutor’s office said in a release.

When police tried to arrest him, Cataldo went back toward a bathroom and grabbed a handgun, firing one shot that did not strike anyone, authorities said.

Cataldo remains held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in lieu of $2.5 million bail, jail records show.

The valor awards for the two detectives come on the heels of Prosecutor Joseph Coronato being named Prosecutor of the Year by the state’s Narcotics Officers Association for his work battling the heroin epidemic in the county and spearheading the Narcan program for police officers, according to a release.

The group also named prosecutor’s office Detective David Fox as Narcotics Officer of the Year, the release said. Investigative Excellence awards were also given to prosecutor’s office Detective Michael Heale, Ocean County Corrections Detective Rebecca Roth, prosecutor’s office Detective Anthony Sgro, Special Operations Group Northern Unit and Special Operations Group Southern Unit.
